Fantastic Zombie movie. Forget this nonsense about what makes a zombie. What makes a Zombie is something that isn't human but looks it trying to have you for lunch. Enough said.
Much as I dislike "I'd rather clean the cat box" human-on-human violent movies, I count zombie films as escapism (or at least I hope that they are).
This one has the intensely claustrophobic, terrifying atmosphere of the best of the genre. I actually shrieked and leaped off the couch during one scene the first time that I saw it and this is rare for someone accustomed to horror films who usually makes jokes about monsters needing dental work.
The concept is fresh and very clever and the execution is commendable. I cannot recommend this film enough for those who enjoy zombies or even for those who are looking for a good "otherworldly" scare.
